9/8/2016 Parliamentary Briefing on E-cigs

[Postmodern Smoking]

I've only had a chance to skim the full report... but looking very positive.

Wish the briefing had been written pre-TPD though!

Interesting read, thank you for posting.

Particularly interested in the effect on small vaping companies versus the influence of the big tobacco companies.

Only 10% of vapers use a tank over 2ml? I was surprised....

Surely that cant be right ??

Not disputing your comment ghostrider1971, just too lazy to type so I pinched your comment ;-)

I suppose it depends on when the survey was done, but probably included a lot of people who use CE4 type atomizers, so they will be under 2ml by default. The figure seems to have come from an ASH survey, which is in itself quite a good read. www.ash.org.uk/files/documents/ASH_891.pdf Although from a quick glance of that paper I can't find the 2ml tank evidence.

All this says to me is that none of them (handwringers and their bag carriers) are going to stop the use of tobacco. And as with patches etc they are ensuring that an alternative solution (safer) is going to be as expensive...likely more so.

I challenge the poll/research figures anyway.

"Survey data suggest that around 10% of vapers use products which exceed TPD limits on nicotine concentration (20mg/ml) and tank capacity (2ml)"
